Pakistan PM: US-Iran memorandum excludes ballistic missile issue

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Tuesday that the memorandum of understanding signed between the United States and Iran, with Pakistani mediation, does not include any provisions related to Iran’s ballistic missiles.

Sharif made the remarks during a delegation-level meeting held as part of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s visit to Pakistan.

“There are no ballistic missiles in the Islamabad memorandum of understanding (MoU). The issue was never on the table, was never part of the agenda, and the Iranian side never even wanted to discuss it,” Sharif said.

He claimed that some parties around the world are seeking to scuttle the agreement.
